For the record, I consciously chose not to
support #|...|# in Chibi. I just think it's ugly.
But I'm not particularly set on this.

| # extensively, and I do think that we should have some way of doing block comments. |
comment:6 Changed 2 years ago by cowan
For the record, #|...|# and #; are specified by SRFI 30 and SRFI 62 respectively.

Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
PLT, Gauche, MIT, Gambit, Chicken, Bigloo, Kawa, SISC, Chez support both #; and #| ... |#.
Chibi supports only #;. (Fix that, willya, Alex?)
Scheme48/scsh, s7, SCM, sxm supports only #| ... |#.
Guile, Scheme 9, sscm, vscm don't support either one.
SCM has an incompatible meaning of #;.
I recommend including support for both #; and #|...|#.
